RECOVERY REDEFINED
-
Recovery in 20 seconds

-
Deploys without disruption
Retrofits to existing pilot vessels and workboats, with no change to manoeuvring practices and no requirement for specialist rescue crafts.
-
Type approved performance
Lloyd’s Register Type Approved and independently tested in challenging sea states – delivering confidence in real-world emergency conditions.
Faster recovery. Lower risk. Operationally proven.
Traditional recovery methods are slow, physically demanding and high-risk in rough conditions. Recoveries can take five minutes or more per person, exposing both casualty and crew to unnecessary danger. Swift was developed by experienced search and rescue professionals to change that.
The system floats with the waves, reducing crush hazards and enabling controlled, repeatable recoveries in flat calm and harsh sea states. A single operator can safely recover a casualty in under one minute from the point of first contact, conscious or unconscious, increasing the likelihood of survival while protecting crew from injury.
20x faster recovery
Up to twenty times faster than conventional recovery methods, materially reducing time to rescue.
Minimal injury risk
Designed to reduce exposure to crush injuries and physical strain for both casualty and crew.
One-person operation
Requires only one crew member for deployment and recovery, improving response efficiency in time-critical scenarios.
Proven in the real world
Swift is Type Approved by Lloyd’s Register and tested in challenging conditions, including operations in high winds and rough sea states .
It has been deployed across pilot vessels, harbour launches, workboats and fast rescue craft, strengthening real-world emergency response capability without disrupting standard operations.
